02 Autobiography Born in Regina, Saskatchewan. From 2011-2015, I attended the University of Regina receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts specialing in drawing and print-making. During my undergraduate studies, I received two travel abroad awards to study history in Peru and visit art museums in New York. For two summers, I worked with a landscaping construction company working on residential design projects. I loved the building process so much that I stayed with the company for two summers. However, in 2016, I moved to interior British Columbia to be closer to the mountains. While in Revelstoke, I worked for a softscaping company. There, I acquired basic plant knowledge and planting techniques. Currently, I am a second-year MLA student at the University of Calgary. I was awarded two entrance scholarships for my Foundation Year and another scholarship at the beginning of second year. I am interested in urban design, stormwater management, visual communication and diagramming, and collaboration. When I am not studying, I enjoy skiing, hiking, biking, swimming, reading books on science and philosophy,

07 Landscape Architecture Studio 1 Project Old Refinery Park in Calgary is the site of an oil refinery plant. Throughtout the project, I analyzed the site’s history, and its tendency to flood. The design features an elevated boardwalk that traces a water canal used during oil refinement. Its elevated to respond to the major flooding in the spring.

08 Urban Design Studio Project Group studio project based on Zidell Yards site in Portland, OR. Throughout the semester, we have been exploring the site by completing a series of assignments on programming and flows in preparation for the design phase. Our group proposed an inner-city urban agricultural hub that integrates the public realm with hyper production.
